"...stop hiring so many people from these elite institutions in the first place..."
A-fucking-men. I went to and live in the shadows of one of these 'elite' universities that has been grabbing headlines over the last couple of weeks. In my current employment role, I've gone back to said university to possibly sponsor a project and recruit students, and outside of literally one student out of dozens that I've met, I wouldn't hire any of them. And fellow former classmates that I've discussed this with say the same thing: they've invited recent grads in to interview, and immediately regret having done so, as it reflects poorly on us alumni who try to vouch for the school. On the other hand, I was invited by another former classmate to a school where he is currently a professor and that does not have nearly the reputation of my alma mater, and I was impressed as hell by the students there, and would hire several of the students that I met without hesitation.
